According to him, the revelations emerging out of the pink sheets presented by the petitioners to the Supreme Court seemed that “the NPP did not prepare well before going to court.”
He was of the view that the petitioners did a selective job by presenting pink sheets which did not cover some parts of their party’s stronghold.
He explained that the New Patriotic Party (NPP), in respect of the biometric verification process during the 2012 elections, is equally fallible of the allegations the petitioners have levelled against the respondents.
Speaking to Kwami Sefa-Kayi, host of Peace FM’s morning show “Kokrokoo”, Brogya Gyamfi disclosed that “on the face of that pink sheet, the column that the NPP claims that if you don’t vote through the biometric verification; 977 persons have been written there that they did not vote with biometric verification process” and this number, he claims, were voters whose allegiance is to Nana Akufo-Addo, one of the petitioners.
He also added that though Ashanti Region appears to be the stronghold of the NPP, President Mahama won in about 318 polling stations.
“Out of the 318 pink sheets, even from their stronghold; all of them President Mahama won.”
Touching on the issue with the duplication of pink sheets, he made his analysis saying “if there’s a duplicate of every pink sheet, it means that the pink sheet should outnumber the number of total polling stations. But if you count and get the exact number of total polling stations or pink sheets, you shouldn’t waste your time on this claim.”
He was hopeful that even if the petitioners succeed in deducting 2.6 million votes from the total votes cast for President John Mahama during last year’s general elections, he will still win the elections.
